What exactly is a CASE tool?

CASE stands for Computer-Aided Software Engineering. CASE tools are therefore tools that support software engineering in various stages of the life cycle, from analysis and design through implementation and testing to maintenance.

There are also CABE (Computer-Aided Engineering Business) tools that support business engineering. Some tools can be both, a CABE and CASE. For example, OpenCASE tool can be used to support the software engineering as well as business engineering.
